IPL 2025, LSG vs MI LIVE Score: Mitchell Marsh Shines as Lucknow Super Giants Dominate Mumbai Indians

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) have made a dazzling start to their innings against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in the ongoing match at the IPL. Mitchell Marsh , opening the batting alongside Aiden Markram , has once again proved his worth with a scintillating knock, setting the tone for a strong total. The duo has tackled the MI bowlers with precision, and the scoreboard reflects their dominance.

Marsh’s Explosive Start
Mitchell Marsh has been in sublime form this season, and he continued his rich vein of runs with a quickfire half-century. The Australian all-rounder took just 27 balls to reach his fifty, peppering the boundaries with his trademark aggressive strokes. The fourth over bowled by Trent Boult saw Marsh unleash his power, smashing a six and a four, which set the momentum for LSG. His fifty came in the fifth over with a couple of runs, followed by a boundary and a massive six off Ashwani Kumar, who was taken to the cleaners.

Markram’s Steady Support
While Marsh was the aggressor, Aiden Markram played the perfect supporting role, rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose deliveries. Markram got off the mark with a beautifully timed boundary off Deepak Chahar in the first over and continued to build his innings steadily. He also joined the boundary-hitting spree with a six off Vignesh Puthur in the sixth over, showcasing his ability to accelerate when needed.
Key Moments of the Powerplay

Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram put up a 50-run partnership in just 5.1 overs, laying a solid foundation for LSG.
Marsh’s fifty came off 27 balls, studded with 7 fours and 2 sixes. LSG ended the Powerplay at 69/0, their highest opening stand of the season.

Early Wickets Post Powerplay
Just as it seemed LSG would run away with the game, MI struck back with two quick wickets. Vignesh Puthur, introduced in the seventh over, dismissed Marsh for a well-made 60 (31). Marsh’s attempt to work the ball away resulted in a leading edge, and Puthur took a sharp catch. Nicholas Pooran, who came in next, started with a bang, hitting a six and a four off Mitchell Santner. However, his stay was short-lived as Hardik Pandya trapped him with a slower ball, and Pooran was caught at short fine leg for 12 (6).

Rishabh Pant ’s Brief Stay
Rishabh Pant, who has been struggling for form this season, joined Markram in the middle but failed to make an impact. He managed to get off the mark with a single but was dismissed for a duck in the 10th over. Pant’s attempt to guide a Hardik Pandya delivery resulted in a simple catch for substitute fielder Corbin Bosch.

Markram’s Fightback
Despite the wickets falling at the other end, Aiden Markram has held the innings together. He reached his 50 in the 10th over with a six off Hardik Pandya, showcasing his ability to anchor the innings. Markram has been particularly severe on the spinners, using his feet well to counter the turn and picking the gaps with precision. His partnership with Pooran and Pant, though short-lived, ensured that LSG kept the scoreboard ticking.

MI’s Bowling Efforts
MI’s bowlers have had a mixed outing so far. While Trent Boult kept things tight in his first over, the likes of Ashwani Kumar and Vignesh Puthur found it difficult to contain the LSG batters. Hardik Pandya’s introduction brought two crucial wickets, and he has been the pick of the bowlers so far. Mitchell Santner, on the other hand, was expensive, conceding 12 runs in his only over.
